Bailey lawyers take ‘significant’ new details to court

IAN BAILEY’S legal team is to bring “significant” new information before the Supreme Court this morning in a bid to block his extradition to France.

The information came to the attention of his lawyers last Monday and is said to go to the heart of the investigation into the killing of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in West Cork in 1996.

It is said the details emerged separately from the work of French investigators. France has applied to extradite Mr Bailey, aged 53, for questioning under a European arrest warrant.
